PEACHES 1ED BnRRTEs.
Some Intnry TO she blossoms by
Ernaa.


1t is stated that the peach buds and
strawberry blossoms in the orchards and
gardens in the two lower counties, and in
fact the lower half of the entire Peninsula,
have been much damaged by the leold of
M lnday and Tuesday nights week. The
rain of Monday week completely saturated
these tender blossoms, leaving them wet,
and the freezing temperature which fol-
lowed the storm had an opportunity of
doing the greatest amount of damage.
Several growers in the centre Of the
peach belt examined their orchards, and
found great many of the buds had been
blighted and killed by the ice and cold.
The amount OF damage done the coming
crop of peaches can not at this time be
estimated. but the growers in the lower
section OF the Peninsula are said TO be
very apprchc Dsiyo that more than third
of tho buds have been thus affected.
Owing 20 the fact that the trees ars net Sc
forward in the upper portion of the State,
the buds have not developed sufficiently
to have suffered any effects from the ice.

about two years ago Eghert G Handy,
bright young new paper nan o. Philad-l-
phia, and brother Of Major Handy, we'll
known a. he principal oWIsr uf the Pbila-
delphia Daily NetrS, came to st. Paul and
secured a position on the Daily Globe.
Later on Mr.. Handy made a ten-year con-
tract with the Globe to handle their real
estate advertising. This contract provided
that Mr.. Handy was to pay the paper, II Is
said, so cents an inch for space actually
occupied for all real estate advertising of
whatever description published therein. The
contract did not otcompel Mr. Handy to use any
specific amount of space, but was what is
known as an "elastic contract" MIR. Handy
worked up the real estate advertising,
contracting with individual advertisers,
at from GO to 30 cents per inch for display,
and three to four cents per line In lists
thus netting him from 100 to 200 per cent
profit. In February the Globe received its
80 cents an inch cheque, while Mr.. Handy
complacently pocketed nearly s. 500. Then
Mr.. Baker, on March 22d, arbitrarily an
nulled Mr.. Hanby's contract. The latter
at once retained Flhndrau, Squires Il
Cutcheon and will bring suit for the en-
forcement of the contract or the payment
of damages amounting to In the neighbor-
hood OF a quarter Of a million dollars. This
estimate OF damages is considered very low,
as the contract has yet eight years to run.
MFR. Handy was editor Of the Deldsodre
Ledger for several years, aAd at one time
the GAzETTEs correspondent at Newark.
